2 Samuel 17:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ Now, Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En Rogel, for they could not be seen coming into the city. And a maid went and told them, and they went and told King David.

¹⁸ Nevertheless, a young man saw them, and told it to Absalom. Therefore, they both departed quickly and came to a man’s house in Bahurim who had a well in his court, into which they went down.

¹⁹ And the wife took and spread a covering over the well’s mouth, and spread ground corn on it, so that the thing would not be known.
